The Ones We Burn by Rebecca Mix
Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.
I can't with this book. I don't ever DNF books, but I seriously don't give a shit about the plot, the characters, the magic system, the romance, literally any of it, and I tried. I listened to the audio book until about 45% of the way into it and I knew I was done for when I thought I definitely had to be at least 75% done.
The character motives make little to no sense, the plot has taken forever to develop, I don't find any of the characters likeable in the slightest, and the protagonist's internal struggle is cliché and poorly executed. It's just a terrible book that lacks the ability to hold any sort of interest with the reader. It's not unique. It's very copy and paste with the "I hate these people but now they are my friends, so who do I stay true to: my 'family' or my newfound family?" and it's just not done well.
